The University of the Arts and the Small Computers in the Arts Network
present the 10th Annual Symposium on Small Computers in the Arts: SCAN 90

This symposium is for artists, faculty, administrators, students in
music, performance and the visual arts, computer and engineering
professionals as well as public, private and parochial school teahers
at the elementary and secondary level. Special interest groups

Videography, Visual Instruments, Sculpture, and Art will find a
stimulating exchange of ideas with others who share their particular
interests.
In addition to over sixty presentations on art, music, multimedia,
graphics, dance, sculpture, and more, SCAN 90 includes three nights of
concerts by diverse musicians and multimedia performers, a juried art
show of hybrid photographic works, and special workshops for high
school teachers on computer graphics and computer music education. An
